The functions sleep_on, sleep_on_timeout, interruptible_sleep_on and interruptible_sleep_on_timeout have been deprecated for as long as I can remember, and a number of people have contributed patches in the past to remove them from various drivers. This has recently popped up again and I decided to spend some of my time on tracking down the last users and kill it for good. The work is somewhat related to the BKL removal I did a couple of years ago, since most of these drivers were using the BKL in a way that actually made the sleep_on function safe to call. As the BKL was converted into mutexes, the semantics changed slightly and typically opened up a race between checking a condition and going to sleep. I don't have any of the hardware that I'm sending the patches for, so it would be great if someone could test them before they get applied. Otherwise please review very carefully. I'm definitely happy for any patches to go into maintainer trees right away. Obviously the final patch cannot go in until everything else gets merged first and I suspect there will be a series of patches for maintainerless drivers that will go along with it.
